+====== One-time Charges ======
+===== Overview =====
+There are scenarios in which you might need to //create a balance// on a customer account that is outside of the regular subscription payment. For example, a customer might owe you some money for certain one-time products or services that you might have provided. Or they might need to make a catch up payment for a previous, failed recurring payment, but the system reports no outstanding balance (e.g. the failed payment occurred before you started using SubscriptionBridge, or there was a technical problem).
+In these and other scenarios, you can use the //Add One Time Charge// feature to create an outstanding balance on the account. The amount associated with any //One Time Charge// is not added to the recurring subscription payment. As the name itself indicates, this is intended to be a one-time payment.
+===== Available settings =====
+The first two settings apply to all One Time Charges.
+  * **Amount**: enter the amount that the customer needs to pay.
+  * **Reason**: explain why this charge is being applied. Note that this is not an internal comment, but rather information that will be visible to your customers.
+The following settings only apply to One Time Charges that have already been paid (rare).
+  * **Mark as Paid**: if payment has already been made, maybe outside of the system (e.g. in cash or by check), you can still add this //One Time Charge// for tracking purposes, but not trigger an outstanding balance on the subscription by marking the charge as //paid//.
+  * **Date Paid**: enter the date on which payment has already been received for this //One Time Charge//, if applicable.
+===== Notifying the customer =====
+Coming soon: you will be able to quickly send a notification message to the customer in order to inform him/her of the new or updated balance.
